Not directly about dog's health but can anyone offer advice about getting rid of an infestation of fleas in the home? -- Kenny

I put Hartz drops on my scottie last week and she has scratched 10 times worse since. I read the warning post and because she had panting and heavy water drinking I washed it off. The drops didn't work at all on her. How long should I wait before trying something else? She had the drops on for a...

My vet has shown me how to express my toy poodle's anal glands, internally, external does not get it. I bought the gloves, baby wipes, and KY and tried it this morning. I could not even get the finger inserted into the anal opening. My fault, not the dog's. What's the secret? This needs to be done...

On the net I found the RDA for Vitamim B-12 for humans is 6 mcg. On the net I also found the RDA for Vitamin B-12 for canines to be 0.022 mg/kg. My dog weighs about 8 kg so he would need 0.22 mg/kg * 8 kg which equals about 0.18 mg of B-12 per day. Now .18 mg is equivalent to 180 mcg. Suppose the...

I was told by my sister which is knowledgeable about all this, but I haven't seen anything posted here or in other NGs. There is a new type of Parvo that dogs can get and there is no vaccine for it at this time. If your dog gets it he\she will only live for 5 days after they contract it. has...

Hello, My golden retriever will be 10 in november. He's staying a few weeks with me in my apartment at school (usually lives with my parents). Yesterday morning I noticed that his right eyelid (on the bottom) is kinda droopy. It's not staying firm against his eye the way it's supposed to. I...

We are fairly sure that my Lab mix has ear mites and we have an appointment tomorrow to confirm it and get medication for the problem. He only appears to have them in his left ear as the right ear looks clean as a whistle but I'm sure I'll have to medicate both ears at the same time. I've never...

Why is it best to feed BARF, or perhaps any other dog food, at room temperature, instead of at refrigerator temperature?

Hi- I just bathed a labrador the other day with a shampoo (for dogs). I noticed the following day that around the eyes of the dog there is white spots, above the eyelid and below. I never saw this before the shampoo application. I have used this shampoo once prior and did not see anything like...

Hi Everyone. Thanks for your replies. I realized the only thing I've been doing differently since Max's shaking spells started is using the blender. I then tested this and sure enough the use of the blender would start the shaking. The noise must be triggering a memory or something or then...

Hello, I'd really appreciate hearing if this sounds familiar to anyone. My wife and I have an amazing 9 yr old Dachshund. He's a brown short hair medium size. Unfortunately, he has not been himself the past few weeks and I'm very concerned. I've had him at the vet and they did 2 blood test. The...
